People Making A Difference: Brian Kennedy

In all cities, and especially in St. Louis, community is vital. That sense of belonging and alliance keeps us proud of where we work, play, live and relax. As a man who has dedicated his life to building and strengthening communities, Brian Kennedy knows this better than most.

When putting together plans for Vanguard Heights, an apartment community with 174 upscale, sophisticated homes in Creve Coeur, he and his partners knew that opening up the community to new residents would directly help the area, and the area would help them in return: They’ll support the local businesses and maybe even open up their own. They’ll make new connections and enhance the old.

Through this new project, which will land residents in new homes for the new year, Kennedy sees his dream coming true: his desire to make his community better for others.
